Generating Learning Resources with AI - A talk by Juho Leinonen

Generative AI can support the creation and maintenance of a wide range of learning resources, from programming exercises and interactive course materials to lecture slides. In this talk, I draw on research projects and practical course-development experiences to examine how these capabilities have evolved, what kinds of context are needed to produce useful materials, and how generated resources can be evaluated. Examples include work on generating and contextualizing programming exercises, using AI agents within existing course environments, and comparing AI-generated lecture slides with human-created ones. Across these cases, I consider both the opportunities and limitations of current systems: where they can reduce the effort involved in course development, how their outputs are perceived by students, and which aspects of quality continue to depend on educator expertise. More broadly, the talk explores how generative AI may change the design, production, and evaluation of learning resources in computing education.
